Just two days after completing the 2024 GNR, Hayley was diagnosed with breast cancer, news that would stop many in their tracks. But not Hayley. Far from slowing her down, the diagnosis has only fired up her determination to keep running and fundraising.

Despite undergoing chemotherapy and even recovering from a knee replacement in the past year, Hayley remains unstoppable. Her grit and positivity are truly inspiring.

Hayley said: “People tell me I’m an inspiration. I don’t feel like I am – I want to keep running, stay fit and healthy, and feel young. The feeling I get from running marathons is amazing.”

Every year, Hayley is cheered on by a strong circle of family and friends, playing a vital role in supporting her preparations and making sure everything is in place for race day.

Hayley has no plans to hang up her running shoes any time soon. The feel-good factor of the GNR, combined with the chance to raise money for causes close to her heart, keeps her coming back year after year.
